Regardless of how movie's overall critical reception, I can definitely see the Chadwick Boseman (Jackie) and/or Harrison Ford (Branch Rickey) taking home Best Actor and/or Best Supporting Actor, respectively, if they play the role(s) well enough. It's just the type of movie the Academy looks for acting performances. Based on the trailer it seems Ford will do a great job as Branch. Boseman looks pretty good but he definitely doesn't have Jackie's voice.
The awful rap song at the end of the trailer is inappropriate. You can tell they asked a rapper to make a song, which he did a terrible job, just to connect present-day Blacks to those in Jackie's day. But the score is so unfitting for a movie like this that it made me cringe. The main medley ought to be a jazzy, big-band swing without lyrics.
